Any Idea On Why EKEDC Issued A Warning To Bring Out Wires From Conduit

I’ll like anyone with insight or experience on why this demand was made to let me know if this is standard practice.

These pair of prepaid meters has been installed since 2009 (14 years ago) and the house was built with conduit wiring. The wire bearing the supply from the electric poles entered the building as shown below and exits where the meters and junction boxes for each flats are installed (pictures shown below).

It was quite surprising when I came home today to meet this ‘Disconnection Order’ from EKEDC, asking that the wires be pulled out off the wall within 48 hours to avoid disconnection (or visit their office at Isashi).

I’d like to know if anyone has had this experience before and what the reason for such order is as I do not think conduit wiring is outlawed by them before now..or has it been outlawed?

Note that there is no contact email or phone number on the order and my primary concern is how breaking the walls if necessary might affect the structural integrity of the building. I’ll appreciate any rapid response to this.

Thanks in advance.
